(light-emitting diode embodiment)
See also Fig. 2 A, Fig. 2 A is the profile of the light-emitting diode of one embodiment of the invention.Shown in Fig. 2 A, light-emitting diode 1 of the present invention has substrate 10, dielectric mirror layer (not shown in Fig. 2 A), the first conductive layer 14, luminescent layer 16 and the second conductive layer 18.Described dielectric mirror layer, the first conductive layer 14, luminescent layer 16 and the second conductive layer 18 sequentially are arranged on respectively on the substrate 10, so that the first conductive layer 14 is between substrate 10 and luminescent layer 16, and luminescent layer 16 is between the first conductive layer 14 and the second conductive layer 18.The present embodiment is in Fig. 2 A, and the upper surface of the second conductive layer 18 can be the exiting surface of light-emitting diode 1, and the lower surface of substrate 10 can be the back side of light-emitting diode 1.Note that in graphic for can clearer each layer of expression or the feature of each structure, may proportionally not draw the relative size of each layer or each structure, below each element of light-emitting diode 1 of the present invention is described respectively.
Substrate 10 employed materials can be silicon, gallium nitride, aluminium nitride, sapphire, spinelle, carborundum, GaAs, alundum (Al2O3), titanium dioxide lithium gallium, titanium dioxide lithium aluminium, four magnesium oxide, two aluminium or other suitable materials.The present embodiment can have a plurality of grooves 102 take the substrate 10 of sapphire material as example on one surface of substrate 10.At this, the present invention does not limit the shape of described a plurality of groove 102, does not limit described a plurality of groove 102 yet and how to arrange.For instance, that groove 102 can present on the surface of substrate 10 is cylindrical, rectangle or semicircular depression, certainly, groove 102 also can be that the stripe shape depression of section triangularity, stripe shape depression or the section of section rectangularity become semicircular stripe shape depression on the surface of substrate 10, has in affiliated technical field and knows that usually the knowledgeable can freely design described groove 102.
If take columniform groove 102 as example, please in the lump referring to Fig. 2 B and Fig. 2 C, Fig. 2 B is the stereogram of the section of the groove of demonstration one embodiment of the invention, and Fig. 2 C is the stereogram of the section of the groove of another example embodiment of demonstration the present invention.As shown in the figure, on the surface that the groove 102 among the present invention can be regularly, array be arranged on substrate 10 with arranging (such as Fig. 2 B), perhaps groove 102 also can be arranged on the surface of substrate 10 (such as Fig. 2 C) randomly.For instance, in order to increase the efficient of light reflection, the arrangement of groove 102 can be leg-of-mutton array, hexagonal array or tetragonal array, the present invention is not limited at this, and the queueing discipline of groove 102 can be had by affiliated technical field knows that usually the knowledgeable looks actual needs and designs.
Please continue the A referring to Fig. 2, the dielectric mirror layer is arranged in described a plurality of groove 102, and the dielectric mirror layer is respectively at forming a dielectric mirror block 122 in each groove 102.In in fact, the material of dielectric mirror layer and dielectric mirror block 122 can be silicon dioxide, titanium dioxide, tantalum pentoxide, silicon nitride or other suitable materials.At this, groove 102 is formed at a upper surface of substrate 10, the degree of depth with groove 102 is close haply and be arranged at the thickness of the dielectric mirror block 122 in the groove 102 so that insert dielectric mirror block 122 groove 102 can with the upper surface of described substrate 10 copline haply.In other words, dielectric mirror block of the present invention 122 embeds among the substrates 10, and so that substrate 10 can have than even curface.When further making other retes on substrate 10, the substrate 10 that has than even curface can have the brilliant efficient of better length.
Certainly, the present invention does not limit described dielectric mirror block 122 must form smooth plane with groove 102, and dielectric mirror block 122 also can be slightly protruding in the upper surface of substrate 10 or slightly recessed in the upper surface of substrate 10.As long as dielectric mirror block 122 might as well for fear of make other retes on the substrate 10, have in affiliated technical field and know that usually the knowledgeable can freely design the degree of depth of thickness and the groove 102 of dielectric mirror block 122.
It should be noted that, although at substrate 10 more large-area groove 102 and dielectric mirror block 122 are set, the light that the luminescent layer 16 of light-emitting diode 1 produces can reflect more light (shown in the arrow of directive dielectric mirror block 122), so that can penetrate (shown in the arrow of directive the second conductive layer 18) towards exiting surface in the concentrated area.Yet the area of groove 102 and dielectric mirror block 122 is crossed conference makes other retes be difficult for being fixedly arranged on the substrate 10, and can have problems on the durability of light-emitting diode 1.Therefore, can be easily positioned on the substrate 10 in order to make other retes, groove 102 and dielectric mirror block 122 should be arranged on the surface of substrate 10 with suitable area ratio.Have in affiliated technical field and usually to know the knowledgeable under the prerequisite of the durability of not damaging light-emitting diode 1, visual actual needs and adjust groove 102 and dielectric mirror block 122 at the lip-deep area ratio of substrate 10.
Please continue the A referring to Fig. 2, the first conductive layer 14 is arranged on the substrate 10, so that dielectric mirror layer and dielectric mirror block 122 be between substrate 10 and the first conductive layer 14, and luminescent layer 16 is arranged on the first conductive layer 14, and the second conductive layer 18 is arranged on the luminescent layer 16.At this, the first conductive layer 14 can be a kind of N-shaped semiconductor layer, and the second conductive layer 18 can be a kind of p-type semiconductor layer, and the first conductive layer 14 and the second conductive layer 18 more can be distinguished connecting electrode 142 and electrode 182.When electrode 142 and 182 at electrode have a voltage difference, and so that the first conductive layer 14, luminescent layer 16 and the second conductive layer 18 have an electric current by the time, luminescent layer 16 can be driven and be produced light.
In in fact, the dielectric mirror block 122 in each groove 102 and the first conductive layer 14 can surround out an air gap.Please in the lump referring to Fig. 2 D and Fig. 2 E, Fig. 2 D is the schematic diagram of the air gap of one embodiment of the invention, and Fig. 2 E is the partial enlarged drawing in E zone among Fig. 2 D.As shown in the figure, air gap 144 is between dielectric mirror block 122 and the first conductive layer 14, wherein but the width R1 of air gap 144 and degree of depth R2 have the depth-to-width ratio example of a modulation, and described depth-to-width ratio example is the corresponding change according to the ratio of five family's semi-conducting materials with three races's semi-conducting material of the first conductive layer 14 in the epitaxy technique (being called again five or three ratios).At this, described 53 than being in the unit volume, the number ratio of five family's ions and three races's ion, or the molar ratio of five family's ions and three races's ion.
For instance, if five or three than in 0 to 2000 scope, then the width R1 of air gap 144 and degree of depth R2 are minimum, almost do not surround out air gap 144 and can be considered between dielectric mirror block 122 and the first conductive layer 14.If five or three than greater than 2000, just then can surround out air gap 144 between dielectric mirror block 122 and the first conductive layer 14, preferably, if five or three compare in 2000 to 3000 scope, then can produce the air gap 144 of suitable size.In in fact, the dielectric mirror block 122 suitably air gap 144 of size of can arranging in pairs or groups helps to improve the light reflection efficient of substrate 10.Certainly, there is not air gap 144 and when dielectric mirror block 122 is only arranged, light-emitting diode 1 of the present invention equally also can be reached the purpose of reflection ray, therefore the present invention does not limit between dielectric mirror block 122 and the first conductive layer 14 air gap 144 must not arranged.

Then, in step S34 and Fig. 4 C, form dielectric mirror layer 12 on patterning photoresist layer 20 and in described a plurality of groove 102, and dielectric mirror layer 12 is respectively at forming dielectric mirror block 122 in each groove 102.Then, in step S36 and Fig. 4 D, remove patterning photoresist layer 20 and cover dielectric mirror layer 12 on the patterning photoresist layer 20, and only stay the structure in the substrate 10.At this, the thicknesses of layers of dielectric mirror layer 12 approximately is the etch depth of groove 102, so that after dielectric mirror layer 12 inserts groove 102 and removes patterning photoresist layer 20, the upper surface of substrate 10 can have the dielectric mirror block 122 of a plurality of embeddings, and the upper surface of substrate 10 is an even curface haply.
Then, in step S38 and Fig. 4 E, on substrate 10, form the first conductive layer 14, so that dielectric mirror layer 12 and dielectric mirror block 122 are between substrate 10 and the first conductive layer 14.Then, in step S40 and step S42, illustrated respectively on the first conductive layer 14, to form luminescent layer 16, and on luminescent layer 16, formed the second conductive layer 18.
In sum, the light-emitting diode that the embodiment of the invention provides and manufacture method thereof can be formed on the dielectric mirror layer in the groove of substrate, so that the dielectric mirror block in each groove and substrate can be copline haply, to keep the planarization of upper surface of base plate.Thus, when other retes (for example conductive layer) when being formed on the substrate, can not protrude or be depressed in substrate and produce the problem that involution is difficult for because of the dielectric mirror block.Simultaneously, the present invention also can and be scattered in dielectric mirror block on the substrate by the dielectric mirror layer, light with the reflection directive light-emitting diode back side, the light that the luminescent layer of light-emitting diode is produced can penetrate towards exiting surface in the concentrated area, to improve the luminosity of light-emitting diode.
